The loosers

The losers in this election result are not so much one or other candidate, but trust in institutions; in politicians, in the police, in the media, in the judicial system, the FBI, in academia, in science, in experts, in punditry. Promises that come to nothing finally come back to bite you - on either side of the aisle.

And ultimately the people, particularly those for whom Twitter is their only "reliable" source of information.

Unless America gets its act together, just as Britain ceded its position to the US in the 20th century, so America will to China in this one.
